Fire Incident

To report an actual fire incident, call the Emergency Operations Center at (800) 255-2587 or (502) 607-1637. A Duty Office will answer. You will need to state the facts known about the incident to the officer. Most of the information above will be requested, so knowing the time and date of occurrence, building name, and facts of the fire will be useful. Be sure to request that the State Fire Marshal’s “on call” officer be contacted immediately.
